Well, I have said it already, but I’ll say it again:
I did not enjoy my experience with that pesky old Olympus Trip.
On paper there was nothing not too like about this seminal piece of kit: old school, analogue, stout metal build, mechanical shutter, nice sharp lens, the list of positives goes on and on…….
This is my third blog post about using one – here’s where you can find the previous two

I like a manual camera, PASM if you know what I mean, and not having full manual control this wasn’t the camera for me.
I am very pleased with most of the results I got, but the user interface (if you can talk like that about a camera that pre-dates the internet by so many years) wasn’t what I wanted.
